4x4" oil on textured panel

$30 unframed; $40 framed

Available in my ETSY shop

What a cheery flower; the sunflower! It is TRULY a Sunny Delight...thus the name given! "Sunny D" is painted in oil on a 4x4" slightly textured panel. Alone it can sit on an easel, or can be framed in your favorite 4x4" frame. (remember 1/2" is taken on all sides), OR for .50 more I can mount it on a 5x5" off white matt so you can frame it in your own 5x5" frame, OR I can send it matted in the off white backer board and in the gold leaf wood 5x5" frame as shown. Any way you choose it, that special spot will be sunnier just to have it there! "Sunny D" will be ready to ship on July 21, 2014 when it is dry! Shipping is set for the framed version, but if you purchase just the painting and or the matt backer I will adjust the shipping accordingly!

 

Yesterday was a wildlife party around here.  I've got baby birds, so mom and dad have posed LOTS for me...here is one...I think this is a wren...any thoughts?

 We've also had a big young buck hanging around the property of late.  He doesn't much care for my hubby...snorts and paws at the ground, but for me, he just seems curious...

I highly suspect both these will end up in paintings at one time or another...! FUN DOINS!

HAPPY CREATING!

(Fluffy P is another of the visitors I had at Summer Art Market this year.  He stopped just long enough to get a drink and say hello!)

"Fluffy P" is a wiry little ball of joy. He stopped by to visit and I was taken immediately by his big blue eyes....well, maybe not the eyes; cuz you can't see them, but his charm makes up for it! A sweetheart for sure, he will be ready to come home to you on July 19, 2014 when he is dry. You can take him as is in all his 4x4" glory, to frame in your own 4x4 frame (remember 1/2" is taken on all sides), or sit on an easel as is. OR, for .50 more I can put a 5x5" black or off white backer board for you to frame him in your own 5x5" frame so all sides show. OR you can choose the black or off white framing choices. Shipping is set for the framed version, but if you choose the matt backing or just the painting, I will adjust the shipping accordingly! PS. the black frame is a hard plastic, and the off white is distressed wood. 

 My flowers in pots are doing well this year.  I thought the daisies were specially happy!  At my house we can't PLANT flowers in our flower beds as the deer will eat them, so my color that isn't an established deer hated plant is in pots on my deck!

I'm getting excited for my little grandson Paxton's 3rd birthday!  I can't believe time has passed so quickly!  This little part of my family recently moved to a new house, and his room needs new artwork...so, nana is on it!  I want to pay homage to these years of his little life where the alphabet has been SO important to him!  He learned his letters so early, and still loves to play with them...he spells now and is absolutely still the apple of my eye!  SO, nana is going to paint him something with his precious letters...and also pay homage to his home town team that is a big part of all of the family...the Nebraska Huskers...This sketch is the beginning...stay tuned as I play with letters myself in honor of my little sweetie pie!  FUN DOINS!

I've really been enjoying making my fun canvas baskets.  So far I'm stocking my gallery/shop; Luna's Mandala in Conifer...but, I may end up putting them in my ETSY shop at some point.  

 So far my condundrum is the pricing.  My "bitties" as I call them are a mere 3 1/2" wide and about 2" deep with a 2 1/2" height...I can't charge that much due to their size, but the process I use to make them is exactly the same as for the larger baskets...so, that's the hitch!  I LOVE making them...but, they have to be cost effective...hmmmm.  I'm working on it!

I have to laugh, because I'm always making stuff and almost never keep one for myself, but today I changed that...I kept "Wanderlust" for my alphabet stamps...FUN DOINS!
